Lung Cancer - Multimodality Therapy
This week on The Beat, CTSNet Editor-in-Chief Joel Dunning spoke with James Cox, Professor of Cardiac Surgery at the Feinberg School of Medicine at Northwestern Medicine in Chicago, Illinois, USA, and Patrick McCarthy, Executive Director...
The neoadjuvant chemoimmunotherapy pathway has become the standard of care for patients with resectable, locally advanced non-small cell lung cancer without actionable mutations. Its increasing use has introduced novel technical...

In this Memorial Sloan Kettering series, 11 patients with metastatic DLL3-high pulmonary carcinoid received the DLL3/CD3 bispecific T-cell engager tarlatamab. Eight patients (73 percent) achieved an objective response; all had...
This study reviews 44 patients with stage IB (larger than 4 cm) to IIIA non-small cell lung cancer who were treated on sequential platform arms of the NEOSTAR trial. Twenty-two...
Gilbert Massard of the Centre Hospitalier in Strasbourg, France, discusses difficult treatment decisions in lung cancer. He reviews the different treatment approaches for oligometastasis, ground glass opacities, and multiple primary...
The authors found that adjuvent chemoradiotherapy after resection of N2 NSCLC was more effective if given sequentially than concomitantly.
...This randomized trial compared chemoradiotherapy alone to chemoradiotherapy followed by consolidation therapy with the PDL-1 antibody durvalumab in patients with stage III NSCLC. The treatment group had significantly improved progression-free...
A useful reminder of the substantial progress that has been made and the continuing challenges that we face in fighting this terrible disease.
...This is an excellent summary of progress during the past year in all aspects of lung cancer, from prevention/detection through molecular therapies and future perspectives. Each section is written by...
The authors tested the hypothesis that induction therapy improves survival in patients undergoing resection for clinical N1 disease using information from the National Cancer Data Base. 10% of over 5,000...
This is a retrospective National Cancer Data Base cohort study of patients with pathologic stage T3 invasive NSCLC with separate tumor nodules in the same lobe. The goal was to...
The relationship to institution type and survival after multimodality therapy for IIIA NSCLC was investigated using the NCDB (National Cancer Database). Academic medical centers had a higher incidence of induction...
